JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto admitted that he had to undergo private golf lessons before his meeting with United States President Donald Trump which was planned for September or October.

Presiden Prabowo yang baru saja tiba di Tanah Air setelah merampungkan lawatan enam negara itu mengatakan rencana kunjungannya ke AS untuk bertemu Presiden Trump setelah negosiasi tarif impor AS yang dikenakan terhadap produk Indonesia berhasil mencapai kesepakatan.

"He said (meetings) may be around September-October," said President Prabowo when giving a press statement at Halim Perdanakusuma Air Force Base, Jakarta, Wednesday, July 16, as reported by ANTARA.

While joking, President Prabowo said he was a little afraid that President Trump would invite him to play golf.

Prabowo did not hesitate to admit that his golfing was not good because he had not practiced for a long time.

"But I'm a bit horrified that he (Trump) invited me to play golf. My golf was really bad, I had to have private golf lessons. It used to be good, now I can't anymore," Prabowo said with a small laugh.

US President Donald Trump stated that the import rate of 19 percent will be applied to Indonesian products entering the US, based on direct negotiations he made with President Prabowo Subianto.

The rate decreased from 32 percent to 19 percent.

In his statement, President Prabowo explained that the negotiations finally reached an agreement after tough negotiations.

"I spoke with President Donald Trump, Alhamdulillah, the negotiations were tough, finally there was an agreement," said Prabowo.
